Department of Health and Social Care

The complainant has requested the Department of Health and Social Care (the DHSC) to disclose a copy of the final Impact Assessment (IA), produced in July 2019, for the ‘Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework 2019/20 to 2023/24’ (CPCF). The DHSC refused to disclose the requested information citing sections 35(1)(a) and 43(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 35(1)(a) does not apply. However, section 43(2) of the FOIA does apply to the sections of the IA identified by the DHSC. The Commissioner requires the DHSC to disclose the sections of the IA to which section 43(2) of the FOIA has not been applied to the complainant.

FOI 35(1)(a): Complaint upheld FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld
